part of me is a part of you

so i push it away

when we're both the same in different ways

names don't match, tastes don't match

but deep inside is a piece of me

human i would say

so why must we treat each other

so differently

maybe it's the things we do

or the things we say

but we live here together

regardless if we choose to like each other

it's pointless

it's useless to me

it's pointless

as we made our way to the shore

we didn't expect to be torn

from the pillars that hold us at bay:

economy, madness

one by one picked up for the cause

emotionally torn and at loss

now i'm feeling the pressure again

take your choke-hold off my life

how much can you carve away before it breaks?

take my hand and show me how to live

reconstruct this broken heart with me
